Eclipse

Eclipse …

An eclipse occurs when one celestial body moves into the shadow of another celestial body. There are two main types of eclipses that are commonly observed from Earth: solar eclipses and lunar eclipses. During a solar eclipse, the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking the Sun's light and casting a shadow on Earth. In contrast, a lunar eclipse happens when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon. Eclipses are fascinating astronomical events that have captured the attention and imagination of people throughout history.
